Video Competition

[Jon]

eXceem has teamed up with Freebiejeebies, Giveaway Network and Real Incentives in a new competition. Up for grabs are the following prizes:

• Sony HDR-SR10E HD Hard Disc Drive Handycam - 2MP
• Sony DCR-HC27 Handycam Mini DV Camcorder
• Sony DSC-S730 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera

To win one of these amazing prizes all you have to do is create a video which will be used by Freebiejeebies, Giveaway Network and Real Incentives, as well as eXceem as promotional material. We also hope that you will allow other members to use your videos on their websites.

There will be separate videos for Freebejeebies, Giveaway Network and Real Incentives, with all entries for each network going into separate groups. At the end of the competition polls will be setup for each group, and the winner of each group will go head to head in a final poll to decide the winners.

The results of the poll will decide who gets what, with first place getting the Sony HDR-SR10E HD Hard Disc Drive Handycam - 2MP, second place getting the Sony DCR-HC27 Handycam Mini DV Camcorder and third place getting the Sony DSC-S730 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera.

• FreebieJeebies Logos

I have an idea, it's going to involve getting the dogs to do things they won't really want to and is going to take me a while i'm sure - good job I have the next two weeks off!!

I have two questions though,

(1) Can I request the cash value of any prize I win (if any)?

(2) You mention no ref or website links, but most (if not all) proof pictures etc. contain website links in the background - would this be a allowed or do I need to re-gather all my freebies and take my pics again?!

Sorry, but you above all people should know how much I've got on my plate at the moment, Mr!

I do suck at video editing too though!

[blokman]

so is there a first, second, and third for each network i.e. 9 prizes, or 1st, 2nd and 3rd for all 3?

Why do I get the feeling the_saint is going to win this one

And chigley, share your idea with me I can do some video editing

no its just one of each prize.

The winners from each network group go to the final, were the voting decides the places, and the prizes won.

Great comp- sounds very innovative. I've never 'made' any kind of video, ever, but i'll give it a try, and if it works, i'll enter!

[chigley]

I have two really good ideas actually.. but don't have a camcorder! Ah well..

[Opehelia]

the video has to correspond to all three websites?
or 3 single videos for each one?

are we speaking, home made video's?
or picture and word based video?

and how many entries per person are allowed?

1000 questions =]

No just one network, you can create up to 3 videos - 1 for each network, though there is no reason why you cant do more if you have the ideas

[claire80]

right then best learn how to edit and put my new (ish ) camcorder to use

[Opehelia]

all i have to work with is my camera on my phone, a webcam, and my slim to none video editing skills.

i don't want to make a complete tit of myself on the webcam if every one else is videoing cool things or using picture based stuff, and then there's me screaming manically at the webcam explaining how good the network is whilst doing a handstand with nothing but a paper tutu on...

so yu are picking out of all the videos, a video for each of the three networks, that will also be put into 3 ranks?

Correct.. Three polls will determine the best video about Giveaway Network, FreebieJeebies and Real Incentives, then those three videos will be voted on to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Well if i do put together something it sure as hell won't be featuring me. If I'm in a good mood I may do a voice over but then again, maybe not.
